Efuse will not brick your phone

Motorola says eFuse will not brick your phone, if an alternate unsighed bootloader is loaded, the phone will reboot into recovery until a signed bootloader is loaded.

throwing my name in the hat

I plan on picking up the x this weekend...and more than likely sending it back in 30 days either way. I also have insurance that covers just about anything, so i'm not too worried about them turning me away. Feel free to shoot me a PM or i'll follow this thread if anyone wants to test it out!

Good luck dev's!
[Droid X Android Development] generic.imitation:
Well since installing a custom rom will only send you back to recovery, why not root (when possible of course) and install a custom recovery? Might help get past some of the issue...idk just trying to help.

My phone will be here monday, and we better have custom roms by then or else :D lol
[Droid X Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Meh, you guys realize how many phones Milestone users bricked trying to hack it right? It's not so much there's a self destruct thing as there is that the modding you do could potentially screw up the phone because you ARE messing with a bootloader and trying to get it to sign properly...

It's a tricky thing. As a Milestone user watching this board I have to say.... welcome to our world. It's one thing to say that the DROID and Incredible got hacked and what not, but this is something Milestone fans have been struggling with for like 9 months or so. It's not easy and we still haven't killed it yet. Don't come on here with too much faith as this is pretty much the same encryption scheme. I welcome the help, and perhaps one of you guys will figure it out as it is now a joint battle... but don't be surprised if it doesn't work out because none of us are holding that much hope.

The kexec vulnerability has the best chance and it's not by cracking the bootloader.
[Droid X Android Development] evulhotdog:
What is he kexec vulnerability? And also do you think there would any way we can bruteforce the encryption by doing some sort of a folding@home type of ordeal?

[Droid X Android Development] Big Dawg 23:
Why cant someone get the original rom just like the Droid? That way it makes it impossible to brick.

I will offer up mine to testing. If in 30 days I will tell them it just died. After that I will spend the insurance and tell them I dropped in a pool I was surveying.
[Droid X Android Development] ohnoyoudidnt:
I as well would risk the recovery menu for testing. its worth it

[Desire General] TheCleric:
Hi peeps

Im not an avid poster but i do a lot of reading, had an HD2 before i got rid of last week and bought the desire.

I love this phone and this is just a shout out to all those peeps who work hard on producing the ROMS and apps etc for this top notch device, im learning new things about this thing everyday.

Its now rooted using one click method as previous methods wouldnt do it and am using a cooked Froyo rom which is great.

am working on setting up my SD card for the apps but getting lost in it all at minute :)

but again thanks to all and keep up the great work you are doing

Hi,

I'm new to this part of the forum(I come from the Xda Exec). I have updated to the WM6.5 but I definitely don't like the way the icons are scattered and would like to revert back to the old wm5/wm6 start menu and programs/settings layout similar to WM5 or WM6 to the pics below:

Anyone know any tweaks? Many thanks for your advice!

[Android Apps and Games] Ceger:
I would be willing to pay for the following app/service.

It would allow for an interval to be set from 10 minutes to 30 minutes (or whatever). During that time it does the following...

Let me explain this by just focusing on WiFi, as Bluetooth functionality would be the same functionality-wise.

At the ste interval time, the service will check the status of WiFi.

- If Off, it turns it on long enough to see if any networks autoconnect

- If network connects, then WiFi stays on as long as netowrk connection exists

- If On, it checks to see if network is connected

- If network not connected, it turns WiFi off

This way a user can save battery life by not having these services on all the time, nor shutting them on/off manually and having to remember to do it when getting in their car or office, etc..

NOTE: When the interval is hit and WiFi or BT needs to be turned on, it needs to wait a minute (or whatever time is necessary - this might be user configurable to account for differences between phones) to see if connects.

Can anyone work on such a project? I am sure you could put this in the market and have many people pay for it. It would allow for incredible battery saving and allowing for automated WiFi/BT switching.

Thanks all developers to build Super Froyo.

[EVO 4G General] npgeorgeuw:
Hey all,

This is my first post ever, but I've been reading up on battery issues and some of the "interesting" fixes that people have come up with including radio mode switching and charge cycling when on/off.

While playing around with these charging methods I have consistently found that when I charge with my phone off the LED will turn green but when I turn the phone back on and continue using it, the available battery drops approximately 10% within the first hour (which is a free-fall for how conservative I have the rest of my settings.)

Conversely, when I charge with the phone on to 100% then disconnect, the battery maybe drops a % an hour with the same usage/settings.

2 questions:

1. Has anyone else noticed this?

2. Has anyone gone through different modes/usages (standby, slacker streaming, wifi streaming vs 3G/4G streaming? and so on and so forth) for a few hours and noted battery drain?

Just gets me wondering (like in the HTC battery fix post) how much of this is issues with clearing battery cache after flashing various things or batteries just not topping off correctly as mentioned previously.
[EVO 4G General] thegame3202:
Yes, I read somewhere on here that once the EVO hits 100% charge, it stops charging and doesn't start charging again until it's under 90%... so if you unplug it somewhere in between there, it will drop to that point quickly. But for some reason, the display will always show 100%
[EVO 4G General] npgeorgeuw:
Yeah, I remember reading that too, but I thought that only happens when the phone is allowed to sit idle and the battery slowly runs down. This was maybe 5 minutes within charging the phone to completion (while off) then repowering it back up and checking things out. I sure hope these things don't discharge that rapidly when turned off.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here. Does anyone know if it is possible to use Apps for Blackberry on the TP2? I'm just wondering. I know that there is a Blackberry Suite for the Fuze, but I am looking if its possible to run apps designated towards the Blackberry (IE like a bank app)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Check the market for orientation widgets I think they exist. Then the option will be on your home screen that's the best I can think of.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I know how to edit the # and location of screens. I was curious though.. I now have 4 screens and by default when I press home, it takes me to the 4th screen (the middle when there were 7).

Am I missing something simple? How can I made say screen 2 or 3 be the default screen?
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Honestly, I'd assume it's not changeable due to the main screen logically being the center one. I barely even used TouchWiz though. First thing after signing in I downloaded ADW.Launcher. Had it since his very first (flashable only) version (I was the very first tester).

Plus, I definitely don't care for the 'iphone-look' app drawer. :mad:

Ok, so I just went back to TouchWiz to try it out. After dragging screen 4 (home screen) to position 7, went into an app and then hit home. Returned to position 7. Hitting home again took me to position 4. So it looks like that 4th screen is always your home screen (unless you root and change code). At least that's my assumption as of now.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ awesome... thanks. Really should be able to change the default screen though (LIKE ADW).

I will probably follow suit and get ADW or LP, but I wanted to try something new out. I was REALLY opposed to the TW looking like apple, but honestly it's not nearly as annoying as I thought it would be.
[Vibrant General] MtJason:
How are you editing the number of screens? Where are the touch wiz settings located? Feels like I've looked everywhere...
[Vibrant General] oDeACoNo:
From what I've seen you open the app draw then press menu and then edit from there u can remove the number of screens and move them around I believe.

[Vibrant General] DaMaDo:
I really liked the way the autocorrect worked on the Evo 4G keyboard. Is there a way to turn that on for the Vibrant?

It would also be nice to have the key pressed pop up above the key when I push it (to verify i hit the right one without moving my eye) instead of just flashing blue under my finger where I can't see it.

I'm trying to figure out how to change these two things...at least mainly the autocorrect.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Regarding swype.... not to hijack a thread... I no longer see how you add a word for swype to learn like it did previously? Used to, you would just long press and add the word to your dictionary. Anyone know how to do this?
[Vibrant General] DesignDawg:
Whenever you type a word in manually and hit space to go to a new word, it learns it. You can access the tutorial in "Swype Tips" in your app menu. It goes over this and other uses. You'll add the "word" "bob4" to the menu in the tutorial.
[Vibrant General] DaMaDo:
I found the answer to my question.

Apparently I was confused ;)

If anyone else out there is confused...

The default keyboard is swype and to get the autocorrect working similar to Evo, you need to go to settings, then Locale and text, then Set default keyboard and change it to android. If you change to samsung keyboard, you have to enable the auto predict text thing.

I've been trying out swype now though, and I'm liking it.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^^ yeah, I did that.... I guess I'm just used to longpressing and adding words to my dictionary. I have tried to type in a-p-p-s, but I can never get swype to do "apps" for me.

You should be posting in the Q&A section, but yeah I totally understand 'general' and 'Q&A' are confusing titles. Q&A almost sounds like a section for 'how do i hard reset' and an answer, whereas general sounds like its for less defined problems. Anyway...

Anyway, the first thing to try is a factory reset:

http://www.ehow.com/how_6013401_restore-nexus-one-factory-settings.html

If that doesnt work, then you could try flashing the latest official update using the recovery. Its possible there is a physical problem with your phone tho, like a bad flash. So it might be best to send it back without messing with it.

Through a series of questions, I would like to know more about those moments when you’ve felt intense emotions while you have been in contact with music. The purpose of the research is to outline how these intense emotions and music are related, and try to find whether different people have similar experiences related to music (as listeners, or as musicians).

the weather/location update well over wifi, but over 3G it doesn't work almost at all in my house anymore as it used to, though i can connect and send/ receive emails and browse the web normally...maybe in other locations it does

is that a problem in the weather service itself or what?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
just tap the clock, however in your case i don't think it will help, since you say it sometimes works.

could be your data connection uses a proxy? settings menu all settings connection connection advanced edit proxy tab.
